噻庚啶对失血性休克兔血浆SOD活性和MDA含量的影响

３０只免随机分为噻庚啶治疗组和空白对照组各１５只。颈动脉放血至血压５．３ｋＰａ，维持９０ｍｉｎ，复制失血性休克模型。于输血输液（对照组）和给药（噻庚啶１０ｍｇ／ｋｇ）后３０ｍｉｎ分别由颈动脉采取血样，测定血ＳＯＤ活性和血清ＭＤＡ含量。结果显示，噻庚啶明显地升高ＳＯＤ活性（Ｐ＜０．０１），降低ＭＤＡ含量（Ｐ＜０．０１）。氧自由基在休克的发生发展过程中起着重要作用，巴庚啶能够清除氧自由基，进而减轻细胞损伤和多器官功能衰竭，是其抗休克作用机理之一。     

Epidemiological and pathogenic study on the outbreak of toxic shock syndrome and meningocephalitis caused by swine streptococcus

Objective: To reveal the relationship between the biological characteristics of pathogen and the pig-to-human spread of the epidemic and infectious disease in 1998 in East China. Methods: Epidemiological survey, pathological examination of pigs and patients, and pathogen isolation were performed. Results: The disease had a character of quick onset, serious symptoms, short course and high mortality. The clinical manifestations and pathological changes of the disease were high fever, sometimes with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, then might develop to myositis, fascitis, DIC, multiple organ failure, shock and usually died in 2-3 d. Among 25 patients, 16 manifested clinically as streptococcal toxic shock syndromes and 9 streptococcal meningiocephalitis syndrome. The mortality was 81.25% and 11.11% respectively. Pathogenic bacteria isolated from diseased pigs and patients were found to have some common characteristics in morphology, staining and biological characters. Conclusion: The pathogen isolated from the blood of patients and pigs were identified as streptococci.     

热休克反应对大鼠油酸肺保护作用的机制研究

未研究发现，经热休克处理的大鼠注油酸后，肺组织损伤明显减轻，Ｗｅｓｔｅｒｎ印迹分析显示热休克使大鼠肺组织中ＨＳＰ７０含量明显增多；Ｎｏｒｔｈｅｒｎ印迹分析证实此乃由于ＨＳＰ７０ｍＲＮＡ转录增加所致。说明热休克处理使肺组织ＨＳＰ７０基因表达增强；提示热休克反应对大鼠油酸肺的保护作用与肺组织细胞中ＨＳＰ７０基因表达增强及与ＨＳＰ７０增多有关。     

‘Ischemic tolerance’ phenomenon detected in various brain regions

We investigated the effects of mild and non-lethal ischemic insult on neuronal death following subsequent lethal ischemic stress in various brain regions, using a gerbil model of bilateral cerebral ischemia. Single 10-min ischemia consistently caused neuronal damage in the hippocampal CA1, CA2, CA3 and CA4, layer III/IV of the cerebral cortex, dorsolateral part of the caudoputamen and ventrolateral part of the thalamus. On the other hand, in double ischemia groups, 2-min ischemic insult 2 days before 10-min ischemia exhibited significant protection in the CA1 and CA3 of the hippocampus, the cerebral cortex, the caudoputamen and the thalamus. Five-min ischemic insult 2 days before 10-min ischemia also showed protective effect in the same areas as those of 2-min ischemia except for the CA1 region of the hippocampus, while 1-min ischemic insult exhibited no protective effect in any brain regions. In the immunoblot analysis, both 2- and 5-min ischemia caused increased synthesis of heat shock protein 72 (HSP 72) in the hippocampus, but 1-min ischemia did not. The present study demonstrated that the ‘ischemic tolerance’ phenomenon was widely found in the brain and also suggested that ischemic treatment severe enough to cause HSP 72 synthesis might be needed for induction of ‘ischemic tolerance’.     

热休克蛋白70在大鼠胰腺移植后急性排斥反应诊断中的意义

目的　探讨热休克蛋白 (HSP) 70在大鼠胰腺移植急性排斥反应诊断中的意义。方法　建立大鼠全胰、十二指肠移植模型 ,用免疫组织化学及WesternBlotting法定量检测移植胰腺组织中HSP70的表达 ,并观察其与病理学检查的相关性。结果　同基因移植组移植胰腺HSP70的表达水平在术后无明显变化 (P >0 .0 5) ;异基因移植组移植胰腺HSP70的表达水平在术后第 3、5和 7d逐渐升高 (P <0 .0 1 ) ,而且与病理学评分之间存在着明显的正相关 (P <0 .0 1 ,r =0 .934)。结论　检测HSP70在移植胰中的表达对急性排斥反应的早期诊断有一定价值     

Haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome: Clinical aspects

Based on clinical and pathological features a typical case of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome passes through five phases: (1) febrile phase, (2) hypotensive phase, (3) oliguric phase, (4) diuretic phase and (5) convalescent phase. The major manifestations are fever, pain in the back and abdomen, flushed face, prostration, proteinuria, purpura and haemorrhage and acute renal failure. Selective right auricular haemorrhage, marked congestion and haemorrhage in the renal medulla and necrosis of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland are the three prominent pathological findings. The clinical severity depends upon the causative agents, namely Hantaan virus, Seoul virus and the European form in that order. Specific serological diagnosis of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is made by demonstrating a rise in titre of specific immunofluorescent antibody against Hantaan and related viruses. The management is supportive, based on an understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease.     

Immunohistochemical analysis of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and heat shock proteins (HSPs) in ameloblastomas

BACKGROUND: To clarify the possible role of nitric oxide (NO) and stress proteins in oncogenesis and cytodifferentiation of odontogenic epithelium. Inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and heat shock proteins (HSPs) were analyzed in ameloblastomas as well as in tooth germs. METHODS: Specimens of seven tooth germs, 36 benign ameloblastomas and five malignant ameloblastomas were examined by immunohistochemistry using antibodies against iNOS and 27-, 60- and 70-kDa HSPs (HSP27, HSP60 and HSP70). RESULTS: Immunoreactivity for iNOS was detected in normal and neoplastic odontogenic epithelial cells and was higher in malignant ameloblastomas than in tooth germs and benign ameloblastomas. HSP27 was expressed constitutively in all odontogenic epithelial cells in tooth germs and benign and malignant ameloblastomas. Expression of HSP60 and HSP70 was detected in normal and neoplastic odontogenic epithelial cells and was prominent in cells neighboring the basement membrane. HSP60 reactivity showed no apparent difference between normal and neoplastic odontogenic epithelium, whereas HSP70 expression was slightly higher in benign and malignant ameloblastomas than in tooth germs. CONCLUSIONS: Activation of iNOS might be associated with malignant potential of epithelial odontogenic tumors. Elevated expression of HSP70 is considered to be involved in neoplastic transformation of odontogenic epithelial cells.     

Detection of refrigerator-associated 60 Hz alternating current as ventricular fibrillation by an implantable defibrillator.

This report describes a patient with an implantable defibrillator who suffered an inappropriate defibrillation shock upon retrieving some food items from his inadequately earthed refrigerator. Noise typical of electrical interference can be observed in the stored electrogram of the episode. The patient was instructed to earth his home appliances, but he decided to avoid his refrigerator altogether, and has had no subsequent shocks.
